We know of one little mercantile midget
who will climb into his high chair this morning
and read this advertisement-everyw word Of it.
It is an advertisement, too. We have taken
liberal space, we have used large type, and we
are going to employ very terse English to illus
trate paraphrase on picture that has been
recently recalled vividly to mind.
Put on your bib, sonny, and look at this pic
ture. Don't try to eat it. You want everything.
1t is only to look at.
There was once good-sized, good-natured
dog, and he was content to mind his own busi-
ness and stick to his own kennel. That's where
he was dignif1ed and showed his good sense.
There was little bow-1egged whelp who had
kennel near by, just around the corner, and he
was perpetually bouncing around in front of this
large dog and making as much noise as a small,
bow-legged whelp could make. But the digni-
fed dog didn't pay any attention to this but
when there was any meat to be had the dignif1ed
dog attended to his share, and having done that
well managed to get goodly portion Of what
the little one might have had if he had only held
his noise long enough to hear the dish rattle.
There, sonny; that's the picture. You may
jump down, now, and show it to your playmates,
and when you get to years Of discretion RENE M
ber the lesson Of the picture Of the two dogs,
Dignity and Impudence."

The heaters that haye been working at

went out on strike Saturday afternoon
for an advance from IS cents, the price
that has been paid hero for heating, to 63
cent?, the Amalgsmated Association sscale,
They had presented their proposed new
scale the Saturday previous, shortly after
having been taken as body intG tho Az
ISOLATION. They were notified Saturday
that the Ecals could not be signed and on
their eide they said they could accept. of no

did not say that they. would pay IS cents

would. President Glessner Says he eI.

furnaces, Of the patent Smith regenesat;Yo

equal number Of helpers. " III

A Dandy Biii Of Lnding Causes Some
N.a Spirited KlckinS--An Opinion MI
That II VIII Not Hold. stitll

About tho frat OF December, tho Mid
die and Western States Freight Associa-,,
ton embracing tho territory west Of and
including Pittsburgh, Dellairp. Buffalo and
suspension Bridge, and east Of the Mlssiq;
sippi river, adopted a uniform bill Of lad.
ing and dray receipt that has been ro'
ceiyed, at least by the merchants and
shippers Of thia city, and presumably
other cities, with anything but favor.
1t was expected that the matter would DO
brought up at last Thursday nights meet.
Ing OF the Chamber OF Commerce, hut out
side oil some informal talk about the mat
ter. nothing was done. NIpF69J.F. ~
The new form went into effect January
l. Tho greatest objection 10 It Ia found
In one OF the "terms and conditions
which are hereby agreed to by the ship
per, and by him accepted as just and
reasonable, and which are for the benefit
Of every carrier over whose line said goods
are transported" !aE.f 7a3t
The 'just and reasonable" term that
the kicking 10 over, reads as follows: 9'
I'd. Neither this company nor any such
other carrier ahalItbe liable for any loss Of,
or damage to said property by dangers or
accidents incident to railroad Transports
Stion, or by 6res or floods while at depots,
stations, yards, landings, warehouses or in
transit. And said property 10 to be car
ried ut owners risk OF leakage, hreakage,
chatting, loss in weight, or loss or damage
caused by changes in weather, or by heat,
frost, wet or decay, Gndif any portion OF
It's route to destination Ia by water, OF all
dangers incident to navigation. e'DaG 2'
A gentleman Of legal turn OF mind to
whom this was shown said after reading
1t, II have not looked into this matter
closely, but am Of the opinion that
there is nothing in this hut what has been
settled by judicial decisions. A railroad
under the lava Of the States and the coun.
try, as q common carrier Is liable; it, lia-
bility aa such carrier has by this time been
we'll settled by's series Of long contesta in
the courts. Whatever that liability is
hxed a., cannot be invRlidated or over
turned by the shippers acqniescence TO
those terms and ayreementa .A-l,ii 81
Tho merchants while not CT the opinion
that they could DO bold by any auch term
as the one given above, dislike the idea Of
having to go to the expense Of litigation in
case OF loss or damage, tho fault Of the
railroad. Beaides this, they dislike the
idea Of apparently letting the railroad
have everything its own way, while moth.
ing is left to them. One prominent mer.
chant said: III ship under this, my
goods may he burned up Or otherwise de-
stroysd, or injured in leaky car7-in fact
almost any fate can happen to them and
the railroad tries not to be liable. Why
one is in luck If his shipping cases reach
their destination without their contents"
